Officially, we are told that this world can't be part of an interactive cosmic recording of time and space. Too many people would start to ask too many questions. Thus, the perception of reality is heavily compartmentalized through various belief structures & sciences. Yet, more people are starting to question the various perspectives.

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains the Simulation Hypothesis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmcrG7ZZKUc

The simulation hypothesis is a contemporary theory about the nature of reality. However, the concept goes much further back into history. 

400 years before the first MATRIX movie, William Shakespeare wrote this...

"All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts..." https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/56966/speech-all-the-worlds-a-stage

Like a stage within a cosmic-matrix theater, people sometimes have glympses or visions of future events.

The band RUSH has had some peculiar insight with some of their songs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Peart#Lyricism One song in particular was as if NP was writing about Neo no longer being a digital man trapped in the Matrix.

Rush - Digital Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJsRBIId14U

https://www.rush.com/songs/digital-man (1982)

His world is under observation
We monitor his station 
Under faces and the places
Where he traces points of view

He picks up scraps of conversation
Radio and radiation
From the dancers and romancers 
With the answers, but no clue

He'd love to spend the night in Zion
He's been a long while in Babylon
He'd like a lover's wings to fly on
To a tropic isle of Avalon

His world is under anesthetic
Subdivided and synthetic
His reliance on the GIANTS 
In the science of the day

He picks up scraps of information 
He's adept at adaptation
'Cause for strangers and arrangers
Constant change is here to stay

He'd love to spend the night in Zion
He's been a long while in Babylon
He'd like a lover's wings to fly on
To a tropic isle of Avalon

He's got a forcefield and a flexible plan 
He's got a date with fate in a black Sedan 
He plays fast-forward for as long as he can
But he won't need a bed 
He's a digital man

He'd love to spend the night in Zion
He's been a long while in Babylon
He'd like a lover's wings to fly on
To a tropic isle of Avalon

He's got a forcefield and a flexible plan 
He's got a date with fate in a black Sedan
He plays fast-forward for as long as he can
But he won't need a bed
He's a digital man

He plays fast-forward for as long as he can
But he won't need a bed 
He's a digital man

He plays fast-forward for as long as he can
But he won't need a bed 
He's a digital man

He plays fast-forward
For as long as he can

A closer look at the+simulation theory of PKD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eThOlVS5MU8

There might be a quick and subtle reference to the likeness of PKD in the 4th Matrix movie. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20220301-philip-k-dick-the-writer-who-witnessed-the-future 

"In Neuromancer, Gibson first used the term "matrix" to refer to the visualized Internet, two years after the nascent modern Internet was formed in the early 1980s from the computer networks of the 1970s." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson#Visionary_influence_and_prescience

Of course WG has his various observations and perspective of things. https://williamgibsonbooks.com
